How do you access the webcam? Is there one for every port?

It has been interesting that's for sure! A butler and a nanny have two different job descriptions! Watch Downton Abbey! I do not think the Haven comes with a nanny!

In My Honest Opinion.

 

Dear Husband, Dear Daughter.

Ohhh! OK Thanks!

I am new to CC but have been following this post because we are in the Haven on our upcoming cruise. What does IMHO mean please? I figured OP meant Original Post right? What about DH and DD and all those D's? If someone could clear that up. Thanks!

Tonight is opening night for this MDQ cast on the Getaway. Break a Leg guys and gal! You are going to ROCK that ship!!

We enjoyed a guided tour into the Yukon Territory, having lunch, seeing the sled dogs and then riding the railroad back to Skagway. Unbelievable scenery. We went on a 6 hour wildlife boat trip in Steward after we disembarked from the ship. We saw all kind of animals and glaciers. It was amazing! Also whale watching in Juneau for sure! (We were on a Holland American ship)

Amazing!! Great work by the crew and Coast Guard especially in those conditions! I too pray that the sick person is OK!!

On our last cruise (February), we had an issue that was unable to be addressed on board and it took about two months and numerous contacts (phone, email, surveys) in order for it to be resolved.

 

My husband took care of it, since he "enjoys" following up on things like this. He got a resolution when he did some research online and found an email address that bypassed the standard customer service.

 

Also, be concrete in what you want the resolution to be. We were offered the standard $25 OBC and a bottle of wine. I was actually amazed by what we ended up with after it was all said and done. My husband was always nice and polite. He stated the facts and reminded them that we have two more cruises scheduled with NCL.

 

Yes...you can get resolution. But you have to be patient, persistent and above all polite. Good luck!

Are there certain issues that can be resolved on board vs ones that have to go to corporate? What is the difference?

Honey, grab the popcorn.

Ha Ha!

BTW: if I have any problem while on board, I will go straight to Customer Service right then and not wait until I am off the ship! Hopefully I will get some resolution right then and there. This will be my first cruise with NCL so we will see.

I have MDQ reservations for 7:30, Thursday and Friday, June 1 and 2nd. They also have 10 pm shows the same days. I did not book dining reservations on those days so we would not have to rush.

Thank you! He just got on the ship May 8th so no specific details to me yet. I will see him on the May 29 cruise. I did read however that when a Norwegian ship was stationed in Sochi, Russia for the Winter Olympics, the ship provided entertainment for the guests. I also think I remember (will go back and look at the thread) that the ship will provide rooms for members of the Olympic "family".

I have been told that the cast of MDQ is going. My son is in the cast and he is excited!! He has always had a dream to go to an Olympics!

It is my understanding that it is $50 per port, not $200 that you can use all at once.

Thanks.

 

We just sent email to our PCC, who is very responsive (and well connected - handy at times like this).

 

We're assuming he'll report back the same.

 

We also don't see any online indication of our Suite number as we previously did.

But we've got our original receipt documentation, and we sure hope we won't be sharing with some "new friends" :eek:

The suite # disappeared off my online personal page, but it remains on my E-docs. The website also apparently cannot determine that you already have all the specials (like the UBP and dining package) because it keeps asking me to buy them.

We are also in the Haven. Is this the best time to arrive?

I think this is the earliest time you can arrive. Your room will most likely not be ready, but you can eat and walk around the ship.

I will double check one week and one day before leaving for Miami just in case but....

I am in the Haven and I printed out my documents some weeks ago. Yesterday I checked and it said I had to pick a boarding time! I checked with my on-line cruise consultant and he said that Haven guests do not have set boarding times. We will arrive at the Port at 10:30.

I am thinking it will start this week. I forgot to ask him, but am sure it will be up and running by the May 15th cruise! Enjoy!

There were people in Chicago and tourists who would go to see it 2-3 times!

Enjoy your cruise and the show! He is very excited about the show and says it is going to be great!

Thanks! He is excited and his family is too. Looking forward to getting on board May 29.

Personally, I think any kind of show is better than Vocal Overdrive. I heard that Million Dollar Quartet is supposed to be great. Vocal Overdrive is just four people singing a cappella. Some may enjoy this, but we were bored by their three minutes during the Welcome Show on Escape and skipped the show later in the week.

I know for a fact that Million Dollar Quartet WILL be on the Getaway, my son is in the cast. He will play Carl Perkins. They boarded the ship yesterday May 8th. Don't write off the show! It is great! It is high energy and has everyone dancing in the aisles by the end of the show! Everyone can find something in the show to enjoy with the music of Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl P and Jerry Lee Lewis. Even teenagers who are not all that familiar with the music love the show. My son just finished up a two year run with the show in Chicago. It ran there for over 7 years!

Good to know. Thank you.

My first NCL cruise and am very excited about being in the Haven too! Can't wait!!

I think I would have talked to the supervisor of the room stewards and expressed my concern.

I have no plans to go on that cruise anytime soon, but I was quickly intrigued by your review! You have got to be a writer! I am new to cruise critic, but that was a classic! I am glad you got back safe. Thank you for an enjoyable read!
